Evil Canadian posted:Those Trophies say "get rank number 1" in xyz, but they are not actually tied to the leaderboards are they? If so they would be ridiculous and unachievable in quick order. Luckily they don't use the online leaderboards. Just got the bronze trophy for getting 1st place in Rampage. Got 1507 with Guan Yu, but that only put me in 14th online. The wording on the trophy descriptions is what threw me off.

Evil Canadian posted:I was kinda surprised at the lack of "benevolence" in the shu campaign considering how much talk of Chaos and Ambition there is in the Wei campaign, right up until Zhuge Liang first appears and I have just hit a benevolent brick wall. I thought that the Shu story in DW7 was weird. Liu Bei, for being the face of the faction was a almost a supporting character in terms of agency until Zhuge Liang appeared, then he actually became a supporting character and it became Zhuge Liang's show.

ChaosReaper posted:Anyone played the Complete Edition on Vita? I was thinking about picking it up because DW is pretty fun and a nice game for mobile play. My only worry is that the game will run like garbage. If the 360 couldn't run DW8 what chance does the Vita have. Allegedly we don't have the most recent version (The US version is 1.01 and Japan has 1.02) so the framerate is supposed to get better whenever the patch comes out. The PS4 version is also a patch behind, but it may be a few weeks before the patch and DLC come out.

Glad to hear there's a patch that will help with the Vita dw8c framerate. I'm happy with what I'm getting so far but better is better. About the only issue I have is periodically with firing off musous and having the facing be away from the direction I set the thing off in, often to the detriment of my body count.

I've had that issue some having come from SW:C, the fix for me was to let go to the stick when I triggered the attacks. If you're holding forward, once the camera spins around it'll cause your character to go flying in the wrong direction entirely.

Yeah 8 vita is great but the framerate is giving me PS2 era DW flashbacks so anything to boost that would be phenomenal

I wonder how long it will take them to roll out the patches for the Vita and PS4. You would think they would easily be able to have that up at launch day since it's been out for the Japanese versions already

Ugh. So I've gotten a few of the 6 star weapons and it looks like they gave them all Heaven as the affinity just like the regular 5 stars. Which means we still have like four or five characters with only Heaven special weapons. On a more positive note, they seem to have followed the tradition of adding a few really good tracks like they have done for the last few XL games. Basically every new song in the Lu Bu campaign is really awesome. Also, I noticed something funny earlier today:  The beard so beautiful that even the Wei forces couldn't resist.

One of the options in the new weapons customization is changing the affinity of a weapon... can you do this for 6 star weapons or are the blocked? And am I reading this right, and XL has added ANOTHER level of super weapons to get? The secret weapons of base DW8 were 5 star, right?

I haven't messed with the new Blacksmith options but if that's the case then it will be awesome. And yeah there's another "level" of weapons. Except they are all on par with the 5 star weapons and out of the six I've unlocked so far only one isn't notably worse than a pre-expansion 5 star weapon of the same type.

Nope, you can't do any blacksmith stuff on the weapons with star icons instead of circle icons. What you see is what you get, which in the case of the 5th and 6th weapons is heaven affinity.

Samurai Sanders posted:It's probably a stupid question, but the US PS4 version of DW8 is English language only, right? Just Checked and A-Yup. I am getting annoyed that the new characters (minus LuBu's faction) is basically XL missions only, and only show up in one or two of the XL missions for each kingdom. They show up in normal battle but you can't play them outside of free mode or those 2 missions.

Calax posted:Just Checked and A-Yup. Yeah, I feel like they did a better job of focusing on the XL characters in 7XL and I would give up the Lu Bu campaign to get that style of XL game back. There were more new maps and the scenarios seemed more unique since most of the ones you get in this one are just slight variations on existing scenarios. Not to mention the awesome throwback levels.

I have gotten in exactly one game trying multiple times a day. I suspect it's somewhat broken or it has some really really aggressive ping limits. I suspect it'd work better if people started passing around PSN's and trying to actually put games together.

Man, I thought some people were exaggerating how bad some of the character redesigns were in 6 until I watched this video. I...I didn't know  Well, actually I did, I just kind of forgot. While some characters got redesigned for the better in 6 and they stuck with it since(Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Jiang Wei, etc), most are awful looking outliers. I mean, look at Guan Yu's hair...or Pang Tong or Xiahou Yuan in general. edit: Jesus Christ, that Meng Huo design in 6

While I'm contented that the odd dixie cup king Liu Bei of 5 and earlier went away, I've never been very happy with the anemic valley-girl-ponytail bishie Liu Bei we've had since.

While we're on the topic of redesigns, has any character changed less than Cao Cao? Not complaining at all, but his render seems to have remained essentially static (slight recolors & accessories aside) since DW2.
